Local New Westminster History: Memories of Woodlands School (199

Book has been in boxed storage a very long time and had developed a slight curl to it. This is a rare, out-of-print piece of New Westminster history published in 1996 by the BC Ministry of Social Services. It offers a fascinating inside look at the infamous institution on the banks of the Fraser River, originally known as the "Public Hospital for the Insane" and later "The Woodlands School." The book is filled with historical accounts and first-hand memories from the staff and student nurses who worked there, documenting the daily operations and the changing landscape of mental health care in British Columbia. A must-have for local history buffs, urban explorers, or those interested in BC heritage.
